Worldly Politics and Divine Institutions explores four instances of democratic governments becoming intertwined with religious matters: when the U.K. Supreme Court forced a government-funded faith school (the British JFS School) to change its admission policies; when The European Court of Human Rights ruled that the Catholic Church could dismiss religion teachers in Spanish public schools; when the Italian government upheld mandatory crucifixes in all public school classrooms; and the Bladensburg World War I Memorial (the Peace Cross) case in Maryland, where the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the cross's public placement did not violate the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.

The Feeling of Inequality shows how inequality reaches far beyond quantifiable differences in income or capital and considers how widespread socio-economic inequalities affect our ability to relate to each other emotionally and intellectually.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Paris was the cosmopolitan hub of Europe and home to a vast number of foreigners – including the writers, painters, sculptors, and musicians who were creating works now synonymous with modernism itself, such as Les Desmoiselles d’Avignon, The Rite of Spring, and Ulysses. The situation at the end of the period, however, could not have been more different: even before the violence of the Second World War, the cosmopolitan avant-garde had largely abandoned Paris, driven out by nationalism, xenophobia, and intolerance.Foreign Modernism investigates this tense and transitional moment for both modernism and European multiculturalism by looking at the role of foreigners in Paris’s artistic scene. Examining works of literature, sculpture, ballet and performing arts, music, and architecture, Ihor Junyk combines cultural history with contemporary work in transnationalism and diaspora studies. Junyk emphasizes how émigré artists used radical new forms of art to resist the culture of virulent nationalism taking root in France, and to articulate new forms of cosmopolitan identity.

In Foundations of Institutional Reality Andrei Marmor provides a novel account of the ontological foundations of institutional facts and argues that there are important epistemic and methodological implications that follow from this ontology.

In The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Conflict, Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, Naomi Cahn, Dina Francesca Haynes, and Nahla Valji focus on the multidimensionality of gender in conflict, yet they also prioritize the experience of women given both the changing nature of war and the historical de-emphasis on women's experiences.
